The lies they tell....anti-Israel Christians that champion the Palestinian narrative.

This is an excerpt from the new book I am writing.The title will be "The Lies They Tell." The sub-title will be "Exposing the lies They tell about Israel and why?"I am publishing a snippet on my chapter on Christian anti-Israel activism to assist those who are challenging the horrifically false accusations being perpetrated in this Christmas/New Year period outside the St.James's Church in Piccadilly, London which brutalises Israel. There is dire need for the shining light of truth. I hope my future book will project that light. I promise it will fall harshly on those that demonise and delegitimise my country.

Christian support for the Palestinian cause this Christmas reminds us that Yasser Arafat defied the Christian tradition in Bethlehem, which had
been respected and upheld under Israeli authority, by appointing a Muslim
governor and engineered a Muslim takeover of the city council.

He then put his
stamp on this town by converting the Greek Orthodox monastery, next to the
Church of the Nativity, into his official Bethlehem residence.

At great
risk to his life, Pastor Naim Khoury, of the Bethlehem Baptists Church, exposed
the developing threats to Christians within the territories controlled by the
Palestinian Authority.

“People are always telling Christians to convert to
Islam.”

His ministry
is based on love and non-violence. He is also a strong advocate for Zionism
based on God’s land covenant with Israel through Abraham.

Because
of his views, his church has been bombed fourteen times, and he has been shot
three times. He has been threatened by the Palestinian Authority to close the
doors of his church which they consider as “illegitimate.”

This
brave Christian priest needs and deserves the active support of church leaders
worldwide. Instead, they boycott him and pick on Israel for their wrath,
ignoring the human rights crimes of the Palestinian leadership whom they openly
support. How twisted is that?

Elias Freij, the
Christian mayor of Bethlehem at the time of the Oslo Accords in 1993, warned
Israeli Prime Minister, Yizhak Rabin, to maintain control over his town. “Bethlehem
will become a town of churches devoid of Christians if you transfer control to
the Palestinian Authority.”

Israel caved in to
international pressure, and the mayor’s warning became the current Christian
nightmare.

Since the
Hamas takeover in Gaza, Christians have fled in droves from the Strip. Incited
by Islamic calls for action, Muslim Palestinians murdered their Christian
neighbors.

One victim was Rami Ayad, the owner of Gaza’s only Christian
bookshop. The mob returned to burn down his business.

The
Palestinian Authority and Hamas have grafted Shariah Law into their Charters
and constitution. In such an unwelcoming environment is it any wonder that
Christians feel threatened and flee?

But once
a year, at Christmas, the Palestinian leadership cynically trot out a deformed
tale of Jesus for political and propaganda purposes. Their tale is not one of
peace and goodwill to all men. Rather it is one of Jew-hatred achieved by
hijacking the Christmas message and converting Christ into a Palestinian.

It is simply baffling how and why Christian leaders ignore the fate of their co-religionists living under such harsh Palestinian control that is guilty of the worst human rights crimes and voluntarily champion the Palestinian cause, wrapped in Sharia, to assault the Jewish state.
